dan lothian is there. if anything, dan, sounds worse. >> reporter: well, it does. and keep in mind that these were meetings that were requested by ambassador rice herself. a chance for her to sit down along with mike morrell, acting director over the cia, and lay things out as they happened, you know, back when those benghazi attacks occurred. and coming out of the meeting as you have been playing there. there were still a lot of concerns. the white house and the president in particular has defended ambassador rice for all of her hard work. also defended the fact that the information that she gave out at the time was based on real-time information that they had gotten from the intelligence community. it later turned out not to be exactly accurate. and what you're hearing from the senators is that because that information may have been murky at the time, that she and others in the administration should have had some pause and should have said, look, we don't know what happened. we don't have good information. so we're not going to give bad information out. we're sti

dan lothian is at the white house. dan, what do you know? >> reporter: well, this is the second phone conversation now that the president has had with speaker boehner with regards to the fiscal cliff. this call, according to a source familiar with it, told me it lasted for 28 minutes. this official saying it was hardly short or curt, as had been reported by some news outlets. and my colleague, jessica yellen, heard from another source that said that the president told speaker boehner that he felt that rates had to go up on wealthy americans and that there would be no deal without that. so clearly, there is still some distance between the two sides here. the president believing that wealthy americans need to pay more. those bush era tax cuts should not extend for them. republicans believing that all americans should benefit from those tax cuts, and that now you should put en titlements on the table. of as we see, the officials from the white house going up to capitol hill today, treasury secretary timothy geithner, to try to hammer out some d
